There is a group of Linkedin members that are BGE owners, anyone here?

Hit me up for a connection if you want.

Which group? I see Big Green Egg BBQers (I'm a member there), and also Big Green Egg Fanatics?

tarheelmatt

Lol.. Shows how thorough I read sometimes... I just sent a standard invite to him.

Always willing to connect to an Egg brother.

I am in the "Big Green Egg Fanatics" group.

I couldn't stand all the freakin' emails they sent me so I cancelled. This is literally the only social media I'm attached to.

LinkedIn is pretty much a normal part of business for me. Connecting on LinkedIn has almost replaced exchanging business cards.

It is also used extensively by recruiters BTW...

Couldn't agree more.  I don't use it enough really.

Whether you are a member there or not, someone in the companies you are interested in or worked for is. Be sure you kiss everyone's behind during your tenure. They can 'blacklist' you throughout the site in a keystroke! Linkedin has ruined/limited more careers than it has created.

@DMW, I don't even have business cards. I'm a software engineer so a business card for me doesn't really do much, lol.

I have a Linkedin account, but am not a member of any BGE group there.

Question: Is there a reason to join? I am already active on 3 BBQ Forums and visit several others. I get questions answered quickly and try to answer those that I think I can help with. Access to tons of recipes. Attend GTG's and Fests.

Why join Linkedin BGE group?

I have a pretty good LinkedIn story. A friend of mine is in industry, and he wasn't on LinkedIn - didn't see the point. So his employer encouraged him to set up a profile. I guess they thought it would be good for their business. Three months later, he was contacted by a headhunter through LinkedIn and ended up leaving his job for a better one. He wasn't even looking to move before he set up a profile.

johnkitchens

I am like a few of you here. I set one up a LONG time ago, but I don't even have my login credentials anymore. Maybe I should update my profile.

Yep, when I was a hiring manager, our recruiters would send me links to LinkedIn profiles to review. No LinkedIn profile = you don't exist.

I got my last 2 jobs through people I knew from Linkedin.  Very useful.

Why join Linkedin BGE group? 

Hello JS,

No, not much there, a few good conversations.  I mention this forum and suggest people to join in.
 Hard to tell real names against handles here.  Now it gets spammed by real Egg research posts.

For those you that would like to connect with me on LinkedIn, either post your name and title so i can search you, or PM your contact to me, so I can request a connection with you.  The more connections the better on LinkedIn I think.  You never know who you might meet.

dldawes1

I've had a lot of job offers through HR folks on Linkedin. My career path has become quite a specialty in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochem industry. 

I might end up in the oil field with SGH in Saudi some day...never know !!!!

I have two linked in accounts.  I'm a cross between Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates in one, and @henapple and @villageidiot in the other.   Meet-an-inmate.com keeps spamming me because of the latter.
